More about Claire Chell:
I have always loved music, sacred music especially, even from a young age. I taught myself to play the piano using showtunes and the LDS Hymnbook and Children's Songbook. Janice Kapp Perry is my hero! Despite my love of music, I've always been terrified to perform and a few horrifying experiences in my early youth caused me to set aside playing the piano; I'd lost my love for it. Fast forward many years and I am now, with my husband, raising 3 gorgeous girlies, who like mama, also love music. We were fortunate enough to save a lot of money during the COVID19 pandemic due to not buying fuel for the cars, that we were able to afford a digital piano. I returned to teaching myself to play and I've been studying music theory alongside it. I then discovered music writing software! Now I thought maybe, just maybe, I could write a song. My second daughter's baptism was approaching and this seemed the perfect opportunity to try. God evidently thought so too because words and melody came to me as I was enjoying a swim one day soon after. My daughter and I even performed it at her baptism which was a huge deal for us, both being very shy performers. I have discovered an absolute love for writing music, and sharing it has been a way for me to share my testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and connect with other people across the world.

Song background:

"The Holy Ghost has a very special language I will work throughout my life to understand"

I believe it is so important to teach our children that gospel learning is a lifetimes pursuit. I think the grown-ups could do with a reminder too! I wrote this song for my daughter's baptism and her sister sang it. I have felt impressed to regularly remind my girls and the children I teach in primary that God wants us to try and keep trying. We don't have to figure everything out today. This song was an attempt to teach who the Holy Ghost is, what His role is and how He communicates with us with a reminder that learning his langauge takes time, effort and practice..

Lyrics: The Messenger (A Song About the Holy Ghost)

The Holy Ghost is a special person.
Has not a body but His spirit looks just like a man.
Part of the Godhead, He works with God and Jesus
To love and care for me and bring to pass the Father's plan.
The Holy Ghost has a very special mission
To confirm the truth of God within my heart.
He comforts me, teaches me,
He guides me to the light and the path that leads back home.

Through the Holy Ghost God answers my prayers
And I can know He cares for me.
Through the Holy Ghost I can hear God's voice,
Learn to make a better choice and feel sweet peace within.

The Holy Ghost is a gentle teacher,
He helps me recognise my priceless worth and who I am.
He brings me guidance, God's message just for me,
He gives my heart faith to accept God's will and trust His plan.
The Holy Ghost has a very special language
I will work throughout my life to understand.
A rush of truth, knowledge, joy.
His still small quiet voice guides me on my journey home.

Through the Holy Ghost God answers my prayers
And I can know He cares for me.
Through the Holy Ghost I can hear God's voice,
Learn to make a better choice and feel sweet peace within.

The Holy Ghost can warn me of danger,
His promptings keep me safe, protecting me from harm and sin.
And when I stumble in times of strong temptation,
He gives me courage to repent and change and try again.
The Holy Ghost is God's promised true companion,
Always with me when I strive to choose the right.
This precious gift sent from God illuminates the covenant path that leads back home.

Through the Holy Ghost God answers my prayers
And I can know He cares for me.
Through the Holy Ghost I can hear God's voice,
Learn to make a better choice and feel sweet peace,
I can feel God's peace, through Him.
